Praying to the milk gods!

Mobile...Praying to the milk gods!

I have an all day field trip today with my class, which means no pumping during the day! I thought about bringing a manual pump and going to a bathroom, but I have no place to keep it cold. My supply is really sensitive so I am praying it does not take a turn for the worse. Not to mention how freaking engorged I am going to be! I am going to pump before school and then that will be it. :( Trying not to think about it and be stressed because I know that will effect my supply too. It needs to be summer so I don't have to worry about pumping and can just go back to nursing my sweet girl.

  • Good luck.  You could always just pump and dump if you're really concerned.  Sucks to toss milk but it might help keep your body on track.  Either way, I hope it all works out.

    i thought about that too, but I need the milk to send to daycare tomorrow. I can barely pump one bottle for her each day. :(

    It's fine out of the fridge for 8 hours. Can you just put it in your purse?

    This. I'd rather hand express and lose some over 8+ hrs without pumping. Thats worse on your supply!

  • I had to do that when DD1 was really little. We went to a farm and obviously there was no place to pup outside at a farm with outhouses. Blech!

     

    The good thing is that summer is almost here and even if your supply dips, weeks at home nursing on demand should pump it back up!
